What happens

Citing threats to the soul of the imperial nation, young officers loyal to the Kōdōha faction within the IJA have organized a coup d'etat, with the goal of purging the government and military leadership of those who oppose their ethos of militarism and direct Imperial control of the state. They have already surrounded the residences of top officials, and have captured the government center of Tokyo. The Emperor however remains silent, despite the rebels' hopes that he would speak out to support them. How will this incident proceed?
